With the first frost for Napa forecast for tomorrow, I decided to take one last pass through my vegetable patch. The tomato plants are still flowering so consequently they have fruit at every stage of development, partucularly the Roma tomatoes, so it looks like another pasta dish is on the menu for this week. The basil is still faring well, so a homemade tomato sauce is sounding better by the minute. I managed to scavenge a small courgette that was obscured amongst a few zeppelins I had neglected to harvest in the past month or so. It was swiftly incorporated into a modified fried rice dish I have been making since I was a teenager. Paired with one of my favourite Napa Sauvignon blancs it was a fitting conclusion to the summer vegetable season.

I still have Roses Blooming! Crazy, and heck it was 0C yesterday night riding home sheesh, but roses are there growing all Pink and Beautiful
Waaay too much veggie on view in that stir fry.
I didn't realise you had frost on the horizon.....I foolishly thought it was still 100 degrees over there.
Weston: Yes, I still have roses blooming also.
Thud: I know, you'd break out in hives just being near that many vegetables.
Villager: Northern California gets rather chilly...you are listening to too many Beach Boy's songs!
villager...ignore vinogirl as she has grown soft...it's always warm here,
